The delivery time of Apple iPhone 14 Pro series has been extended, and the Chinese market has been queued until January next year.

CTOnews.com, Nov. 20, according to Apple's Chinese website, orders for the iPhone 14 Pro series have been placed and the delivery date has been queued until January next year. The estimated shipping time for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max is from 2022-12-27 to 2023-01-03, with a waiting time of more than 1 month.

In addition, the supply of this series of models is also poor in physical stores, with Apple retail stores in Beijing, Shanghai, Qingdao and other places showing that they are currently out of stock.

CTOnews.com learned that in sharp contrast to the shortage of the iPhone 14 Pro series, the standard version of the iPhone 14 / Plus model is well supplied and can be received the day after the order is placed, and it is also available in retail stores, which shows that consumer interest in the iPhone 14 / Plus model is indeed not great. After all, the improvement compared to the previous generation is not obvious.

In addition to the continued high demand, the decline in capacity is also one of the major reasons for the serious shortage of iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. At the end of October, capacity at Foxconn's main iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max assembly plants in Zhengzhou was affected by the epidemic. Foxconn is Apple's largest iPhone contract manufacturer, with 70 per cent of the world's iPhone produced by Foxconn, according to analysts at Fubon Research (Fubon Research), a market research firm.

On November 7, Apple's website reported that despite strong demand for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, shipments would be lower than previously expected and users would take longer to get new phones. At the same time, Apple is working closely with suppliers to restore normal production levels.
